I guess that’s it!

Well, it was a fun adventure to try out my first blog, but I suspect it’s over now.  For one thing, I haven’t updated in over six months.  For another, well, I’m not really a neophyte librarian anymore.  I graduated a year and a half ago, and I’ve been working as a librarian for more than a year.  I’m hardly a veteran, but I would like to think I’ve moved beyond “newbie” status.

So it looks like this will be my last post.  Wish me luck in the future, as I continue on the path of decreasingly-less-neophyte-librarianship!

Interviews and kittens.

Well, I’m still working as a file clerk, but just this week I’ve had two different job interviews for libraries.  One was this afternoon.  It’s too soon to get optimistic, but I think today’s interview went pretty well.  I should hear back from either of them sometime next week.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good news!

Also, yesterday my husband and I adopted a kitten.  He’s seven weeks old and we’ve named him Bamf.  Yes, my husband is a comic book fan.  He’s incredibly furry and cute.  And so is the kitten.

Working, but not at a library–or is it?

I’ve started a long-term (12 weeks) temp position at a bank here in Omaha, and while it’s not at a library I think I’m getting a little practice in, anyway. I work in file retention, ordering files, checking them out to people, sending them back to the warehouse, and pulling and reshelving the in-house files.

At the very least, I’m keeping sharp on filing things according to alphabetical and numerical order. I’m also getting better at tracking down hard-to-find items and checking on overdue ones.

If only I could call myself a bank librarian, I’d be set. Oh, well–at least I’ve got a paycheck coming in while I wait for a library interview.
